Shahzia Sikander
The definitive publication on internationally acclaimed artist Shahzia Sikander, one of the most influential feminist artists working today
Born in Pakistan and active in New York since the 1990s, Shahzia Sikander navigates the interplay of multiple identities, encompassing a range of artistic disciplines in her work and critically reinterpreting South Asian material history. Sikander's distinctly feminist iconography centres the narratives of immigrant women to challenge Eurocentric art histories and counter Orientalist scholarship.
Shahzia Sikander, the volume accompanying a major mid-career retrospective concurrently at the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Cleveland Museum of Art, is the first comprehensive exploration of Sikander's ideas and art.
